Backup needed!

I have accidently deleted one of the important file from/user/tsis/files/home/tsis/mysite, can you please recover the file for me ?

file name - vendor_details.json

Thanks!

from/user/tsis/files/home/tsis/mysite

This doesn't look valid. Did you mean /home/tsis/mysite?

Yes

path : /home/tsis/mysite file : vendor_details.json

Its little urgent, please help.

The admins are asleep, so they can't help yet. You might also need to provide the time that you deleted the file. I don't work here btw

If the admins aren't asleep, then they're probably just watching Netflix

It's annoying how they are in a different time zone

According to other similar forum topics, it may take up to 24 hours for the backup to be restored. https://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/14635/#id_post_59525

In the future, you should use Git and GitHub

Please restore the file, its little urgent for GST filing purpose.

Because we do not generally do restores of customer data, it will take 24 hours.

Please restore, I will wait for 24hours. Please let me know once restored.

Any update on this ?

We take daily backups, so we don't have your data specifically from the time 18-08-2019, between 12:30AM - 1:30AM IST.

The backup prior to that time was at 17 August 2019 at 08:51:42 AM UTC, and the one after that was on 18 August, after you'd posted your message.

We've restored the version from the 17 August to vendor_details.json.RECOVERED in your mysite directory.

That's great, thanks for timely recovery.

In the future, you should use Git and push to GitHub so you have your own backup. It's what real programmers do
